I mislead you.  In this case the source in question is the source to the kernel module for the running kernel.  That is, it has to be compiled for the running kernel.  That is why dkms exists: to automate the process every time a new kernel is installed.  The binaries won't work without  the matching module.

I am going to try copying the binary to the appropriate  /lib/modules/... directory and run depmod and update-initramfs.  However, the glue module will still be wrong and I don't think it will work.
